Nigel Adkins has revealed Hull City's James Weir will miss at least half of the season after aggravating a knee injury.

Weir has made just seven appearances for the Tigers in all competitions since joining from Manchester United in August 2016 on a three-year contract and missed the majority of last season after picking up a knee injury whilst playing with the under-23s.

Nevertheless, after six months on the sidelines the 22-year-old's hopes of kicking on under Adkins this summer have been dashed after a setback in his recovery.
